    Early Management of Retained Hemothorax in Blunt Head and Chest Trauma

    World J Surg https://doi.org/10.1007/s00268-017-4420-x ORIGINAL SCIENTIFIC REPORT Early Management of Retained Hemothorax in Blunt Head and Chest Trauma 1,2 1,8 1,7 1 Fong-Dee Huang • Wen-Bin Yeh • Sheng-Shih Chen • Yuan-Yuarn Liu • 1 1,3,6 4,5 I-Yin Lu • Yi-Pin Chou • Tzu-Chin Wu Ó The Author(s) 2018. This article is an open access publication Abstract Background Major blunt chest injury usually leads to the development of retained hemothorax and pneumothorax, and needs further intervention. However, since blunt chest injury may be combined with blunt head injury that typically requires patient observation for 3–4 days, other critical surgical interventions may be delayed. The purpose of this study is to analyze the outcomes of head injury patients who received early, versus delayed thoracic surgeries. Materials and methods From May 2005 to February 2012, 61 patients with major blunt injuries to the chest and head were prospectively enrolled. These patients had an intracranial hemorrhage without indications of craniotomy. All the patients received video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) due to retained hemothorax or pneumothorax. Patients were divided into two groups according to the time from trauma to operation, this being within 4 days for Group 1 and more than 4 days for Group 2. The clinical outcomes included hospital length of stay (LOS), intensive care unit (ICU) LOS, infection rates, and the time period of ventilator use and chest tube intubation. Result All demographics, including age, gender, and trauma severity between the two groups showed no statistical differences.
  • 5. Vertebral Column

    5. Vertebral Column

    5. Vertebral Column. Human beings belong to a vast group animals, the vertebrates. In simple terms we say that vertebrates are animals with a backbone. This statement barely touches the surface of the issue. Vertebrates are animals with a bony internal skeleton. Besides, all vertebrates have a fundamental common body plan. The central nervous system is closer to the back than it is to the belly, the digestive tube in the middle and the heart is ventral. The body is made of many segments (slices) built to a common plan, but specialised in different regions of the body. A “coelomic cavity” with its own special plan is seen in the trunk region and has a characteristic relationship with the organs in the trunk. This is by no means a complete list of vertebrate characteristics. Moreover, some of these features may be shared by other animal groups in a different manner. Such a study is beyond the scope of this unit. Vertebrates belong to an even wider group of animals, chordates. It may be difficult to imagine that we human beings are in fact related to some the earlier chordates! However, we do share, at least during embryonic development, an important anatomical structure with all chordates. This structure is the notochord. The notochord is the first stiff, internal support that appeared during the evolutionary story. As we have seen in early embryology, it also defines the axis of the body. The vertebral column evolved around the notochord and the neural tube, and we see a reflection of this fact during our embryonic development.

Objectives Describing the respiratory complications and their predictive factors in patients with acute traumatic spinal cord injuries at C5–T5 level during the initial hospitalization. Setting Hospital Vall d’Hebron, Barcelona. Methods Data from patients admitted in a reference unit with acute traumatic injuries involving levels C5–T5. Respiratory complications were defined as: acute respiratory failure, respiratory infection, atelectasis, non-hemothorax pleural effusion, 1234567890();,: 1234567890();,: pulmonary embolism or haemoptysis. Candidate predictors of these complications were demographic data, comorbidity, smoking, history of respiratory disease, the spinal cord injury characteristics (level and ASIA Impairment Scale) and thoracic trauma. A logistic regression model was created to determine associations between potential predictors and respiratory complications. Results We studied 174 patients with an age of 47.9 (19.7) years, mostly men (87%), with low comorbidity. Coexistent thoracic trauma was found in 24 (19%) patients with cervical and 35 (75%) with thoracic injuries (p < 0.001). Respiratory complications were frequent (53%) and were associated to longer hospital stay: 83.1 (61.3) and 45.3 (28.1) days in patients with and without respiratory complications (p < 0.001).

We review the 47 cases of neuropathologically verified CTE recorded in the literature and document the detailed findings of CTE in 3 professional athletes: one football player and 2 boxers.
